U is for ???
When I started my orienteering A-to-Z I knew there would be days when it was hard to come up with something to write. Today is one of those days.
U could be for U.S. O' Federation. But, I can't think of anything to write about the USOF. I don't really know anything about USOF.
U could be for Uppsala. Uppsala is a university town not far from Stockholm. I've spent some time there. I've run in the forest around Uppsala. But, I can't think of anything to write about Uppsala.
U could be for utvekling, the Swedish word for development. I could write about how orienteering has developed in the U.S. over the 23 years I've been orienteering (more orienteers, but slow growth; higher quality of events, but still some problems; deeper competition, but I'm not sure the top level has improved; better maps on average...).
